09-08-2026 Overton County Board of Education Meeting

The September 8, 2026, Overton County Board of Education meeting approved several purchasing and service bids, with recorded votes in favor and no opposition noted. Awards included propane from Ferrellgas LP at $1.379 per gallon; a fire-suppression inspection from the only bidder, Hayes Fire Protection (price not stated); Acer TravelMate B514 student devices from CDW/G at $367 each; and annual termite and pest control for all buildings at $12,280. The board also approved bus garage supplies from Safety Clean Systems Inc. and NAPA of Livingston, and non-ethanol gasoline and diesel from Premier Ag Co-op Inc.; the fuel prices are garbled in the transcript. An additional low-bid item is missing from the transcript, so its scope and vendor cannot be identified. The board approved additional fencing at Allen’s Elementary, without a stated vendor or cost, and consent-agenda item FY27 142 federal projects, revision 2; no funding amount was provided.

The board also approved student overnight trips, accepted two resignations, and approved the second reading of a policy on instructional use of digital devices. It elected its 2026–2027 officers and discussed possible display of the Ten Commandments, with a decision deferred to a future meeting. A board retreat date was discussed but not finalized. No other specific contract amounts or procurement actions were identifiable.
